Chapter 146: Headless
It's really horrific that this corpse is terrifying!
The corpse was exposed to the top of the towering mountain, surrounded by no tall trees, the body was β‘β‘, the surface was dirty, the skin and flesh were turned up, and many white flesh worms sticking to the red and yellow dirt wriggled......
But these are not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that this corpse has no head!
Lu Li walked in an excellent direction, and at a glance he could see the black and red wound on the corpse's neck, which had no head on it, and his vision was clear and accurate.
Rao had seen a lot of bloody pictures, but Lu Li still frowned subconsciously. He paused slightly, grabbed Shen Wansha, and pointed to the corpse from a distance, "What did you see?" β
Shen Wansha remembered that he hadn't paid attention before and almost had close contact with the corpse, and he wanted to vomit uncomfortably, "That's right." I didn't pay attention to the head, I ran all the way to him, and I almost fell because of the smell......" He grabbed Lu Li's hand and refused to go any further, his eyes were frightened, "Little Lizi, he has no head, no head!" β
"I know." Lu Li patted Shen Wansha's hand and motioned for him to let go.
Seeing that although Shen Wansha let go, his face was still unable to hide his nervousness, a smile bloomed at the corner of his lips, and he took out a delicate small porcelain vase from his arms. The small bottle is blue and white on a white background, and the water ripples open, which is very elegant.
"What is this?" Shen Wansha was puzzled.
Lu Li's slender fingers pinched the wooden cork on the bottle, and with a slight force, he unscrewed the wooden cork, and poured out three brown pills the size of mung beans, which overflowed with medicinal fragrance.
Different from the pleasant fragrance of commonly used incense, the fragrance of this medicine is a little strange, straight into the nose, some irritating, making people uncomfortable, and even want to sneeze. But after the stimulation, the brain suddenly froze, the spirit platform was clear, the consciousness was clear, the whole person seemed to come to life, and he could no longer smell the stench of the corpse, and his eyes were not dazzled, and he didn't want to vomit anymore. As soon as he was in a good state, Shen Wansha felt as if he was not afraid of anything all of a sudden!
"What is this?" Shen Wansha's index fingers and thumbs were together, he picked up a pill from Lu Li's palm, raised it to look at the sun, and sniffed it between his noses.
"Su Hexiang pill, go to the filth and ward off the evil, refresh the mind, I made it myself, the effect is not bad." Lu Li handed one to Zhao Zhu, and swallowed the remaining one by himself.
Shen Wansha immediately understood that he didn't need to be urged by others, so he ate with his neck up. After eating it, I began to be curious, I wonder if the effect will still be so good if I get closer to the corpse?
Only Zhao Shu took his hand and stared at Lu Li deeply, but did not take the pill he handed over.
Lu Li raised his eyebrows, but he didn't answer, just looked at him quietly.
Lu Li's forehead began to jump, this uncle who is used to being served!
He stretched out his hand and squinted his eyes to signal Zhao Zhu, "Ah-", Zhao Zhu opened his mouth as good as a stream, he quickly slapped the pill into this person's mouth, glared again, and then pulled Shen Wansha forward again.
The coincidence in the morning was too embarrassing, he didn't know how to resolve it, he wanted to mix it up, Zhao Shu kept saying nothing and forced him with his eyes from time to time, and even signaled him to do this kind of thing that seemed intimate! Interesting! Lu Li thought to himself, next time I feed you β‘β‘, see if you dare to eat!
But at the moment, these little things really shouldn't be taken care of, although Zhao Shu hates his temperament, he also sincerely wants to be friends with him.
Lu Li sighed deeply, walked up to the corpse, and examined it carefully.
The corpse lies on its back, with its legs straight and its arms stretched, which generally represents relaxation and comfort, but for a corpse that has lost its head and is obviously a vicious homicide, is this posture deliberate?
If this is the scene of the first crime, there are many checkmate actions, and it is impossible to comfortably accept the decapitation; If the corpse is abandoned, no matter whether it is in a hurry or not, it is unlikely that such a rule will be thrown away at will. There are only two possibilities for the corpse to be in such a pose, one is that the murderer fainted the deceased when he beheaded him, and he put it in such a posture to behead, and the other is that the murderer felt guilty after the beheading and posed it for the deceased.
Which kind of case will it be?
Lu Li thought as he squatted down to see the wound on the deceased's neck. Helplessly, the box was not there, and the wound could not be washed, and it was not real. The deceased had been dead for a long time, and his body was crawling with maggots, rotting and decomposing, black and red dirt was all over the place, mixed with dust, and he couldn't see the original appearance at all.
Lu Li couldn't, so he had to stand up again, "Report to the official." β
"Huh?" Shen Wansha was a little stunned, "Don't you perform an autopsy?" β
"It's not the right situation right now. And regardless of whether it is examined or not, the body found must be reported to the official. Lu Li didn't stay in front of the corpse for too long, and pulled Zhao Zhu and Shen Wansha back...... The site needs to be protected.
"Young master, you are a little uncle from Beijing, your status is high, and you are familiar with the summer village, and the summer village here is also rented by you, please send someone down the mountain, one to report to the official, and the other to contact the owner of this village, the catchers should have something to ask." Lu Li's brain turned quickly, "Brother Zhao and I stayed here to protect the scene and prevent unknown people or animals from coming to destroy it." β
Shen Wansha's face was a little red when he heard the words 'little uncle', and he looked very uncomfortable. Lu Li noticed it and touched his head, "Isn't it good to borrow power?" I've dreamed of making friends with the young master, and I'm still thinking that one day I'm going to give the fox a fake tiger, but the young master must not give me this opportunity. β
Shen Wansha knew that Lu Li was comforting him, but as long as Lu Li was not angry, he had no temper at all, and happily responded. After answering, he glanced at Zhao Zhu, and said in his heart that the little oak wants to be a fox and a fake tiger, and King Ping's style is better than him, the little uncle who is screaming nonsense, not a little bit!
It's a pity that Xiao Oak likes him, not King Ping, hahahaha!
Shen Wansha left, and Lu Li and Zhao Zhu went around to inspect the scene.
This place is not too far from the city, Shen Wansha used his family's token to send the fastest carriage, and in less than two hours, the officials came.
Lu Li looked at it, and he was still an acquaintance, "Wei catches the head!" β
Wei Zhutou arched his hand with a solemn face, "Mr. Lu." Where is the body? β
"The head of the guard, please."
Wei Zhutou took the lead in looking at the corpse, his brows furrowed, and then took the catchers to carefully survey the surroundings and record, and at the same time let people bring the wooden plank, put the corpse on it, and remove it.
"Mr. Lu," Wei Zhutou walked up to Lu Li and saluted with his fists, "The government has been busy lately, and Mr. Yu is not here, if Mr. Yu doesn't mind, would you like to help with the autopsy?" β
"I can't ask for it," Lu Li smiled, "Even if Wei Zhutou doesn't mention it, I also want to be cheeky and ask for a chance to participate." β
"In this case, without further ado, please come down the mountain with me."
"Pleaseβ"
β¦β¦
The government has a special coroner's room, the weather is hot, there is ice in the house, and Lu Li, who has been running all the way and is a little sweaty, feels a lot more comfortable as soon as he comes in. The catchers came in with planks of the corpses, and a soap-clad officer fetched a bucket of water and was about to flush it onto the corpse.
"Waitβ" Lu Li didn't have time to rummage through his box, and immediately stopped.
The messenger looked at him in bewilderment.
Lu Li smiled, "The maggots on this corpse are also clues, according to its size characteristics, it may be possible to deduce the time of death of the deceased, and the corpse is in charge of me, and I am responsible for this flushing." β
"But in the past, we had to clean up the corpses for the gentlemen...... "The errand is a little apprehensive, is it okay not to work?" Will you scold if you know it!
Lu Li shook his head, "It's okay, I'll talk to Wei Zhutou." β
The messenger thought about it and agreed, "Then there will be Mr. Law." "It's better not to work and get paid, and some choose who is willing to serve the corpse, which is disgusting and smelly.
Several people left quickly, and Shen Wansha was a little worried, "Little oak, do you really want to get it yourself?" β
"Hmm." Lu Li nodded, Gu Zi opened the box, took out the atractylodes soap horn and lit it, "Young Master wants to help?" β
Shen Wansha shook his head and nodded again, looking extremely hesitant.
Lu Li looked funny, "I discussed with Wei Zhutou just now, there is no clothing on the corpse, the head is missing, and it may be difficult to confirm the identity, I proposed to dissect and understand the situation of the corpse in depth, and Wei Zhutou agreed." β
Shen Wansha's eyes lit up, "Dissect the corpse, it's good to dissect the corpse!" β
I wanted to stay and watch.
Lu Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Just in case, I also ask the young master to help me testify, and if anyone doubts it in the future, put out the little uncle's score to help me block it." β
Shen Wansha immediately patted his chest, full of pride, "I've handed it over to Young Master Ben!" He also immediately ran over and took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in the box, "The young master personally helped write the autopsy list!" β
Lu Li's gratitude was very sincere, "It's hard work." β
Shen Wansha waved his hand proudly to signal that he didn't need to thank him, and squinted at Zhao Zhu - What if you are the king of Ping, Xiao Lizi depends on me and does not rely on you!
Zhao Zhumo's eyebrows were raised, and there was a dark mist surging in his slender eyes.
Lu Li wiped his hands with wine, dipped a little wine and wiped it under his nose, took a ginger slice and put it in his mouth, put on a smock and gloves, and finally approached the corpse with warm water and wine vinegar, "Let's start." β
Shen Wansha immediately cheered up, stopped fighting with Zhao Zhu, and watched Lu Li's movements seriously.
Zhao Zhu also stood in the room in a position where he could attack and retreat, listening to the sound outside, and at the same time paying attention to where Lu Li needed help.
"Examination - the deceased had a distended abdomen, untidy skin and flesh all over his body, a **green spot behind his left shoulder, and a maroon leather-like spot on the inside of his left arm."
"The skin of the wrists and ankles is not neat, and there are traces of rope ties. The scar circle is extremely thin, less than half a point, and it can be ground to the bone. The nails of the ten fingers are worn strictly, only blue-white powder, and there are no soil stains. β
"The neck scar is neat and smooth."
"The bones are dented, there is a shade of blood, and the remnants of the skin are slightly curled."
"Except for the wound between the neck, there were no obvious traces of trauma around the body, the sternum and ribs were exposed due to the reproduction and decomposition of maggots, and there were piles of white fly eggs the size of soybeans. There will be maroon pupal shells ......β‘β‘ "
β¦β¦
While examining the corpse, Lu Li told Shen Wansha and Zhao Zhu about his analysis.
Leathery spots are pre-mortem injuries in which the deceased was dragged on the ground or rubbed against the wall when he was being pulled and his skin was broken.
The traces of the deceased's hands and feet prove that he had been tied and held hostage, and that he had used special tools, which were extremely thin, and were by no means ordinary ropes. The deceased had struggled, and there must have been blue and white bricks and tiles at the site, and the top of the hill where the body was found was probably just a place to dump the body, and the deceased was completely unconscious and unable to struggle when he was left there.
The person who beheaded the deceased acted steadily and ruthlessly, without hesitation, and could cut off a person's head and neck so neatly, the murderer either knew martial arts, or had great strength, and the weapon used was very sharp.
The deceased was beheaded alive before his death and endured great pain.
In the summer, the corpse in the wild, generally about an hour after death, will attract flies to lay eggs, the eggs can hatch into maggots after seven to eight hours, and the fly maggots will mature and pupate after four or five days, and after a week, the adult flies will break out of the shell and fly out, leaving a pupal shell.
Pupal shells were found on the corpse, and they were fresh brown-red, and there was no gray-black collapse, indicating that the time of death of the deceased was about ten days.
β¦β¦
After the examination, Lu Li rushed away the maggot pupal shell on the corpse little by little, ready to dissect.
There were no bricks on the floor of the autopsy room, it was a dirt-hewn floor, the color was black, there was a slight floating dust, the pupal shells fell to the ground and it was not easy to see clearly, but the white maggots were still wriggling, very disgusting.
Shen Wansha couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body as he watched these disgusting things fall from the corpse.
He was not in a good mood, and his expression was brought out. When Lu Li saw it, he comforted him gently, "Young master, don't worry, maggots only like ** things, they don't like living people, and they won't crawl on you." β
Shen Wansha's scalp was numb, and his little hand waved forward, "Please don't say it!" β
Lu Li laughed and turned to Zhao Zhu, "Brother Zhao will help me take the solution-" Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, a delicate and small scalpel had already been placed in the palm of his hand.
He looked up in some surprise, only to see Zhao Zhu's slender eyes glowing with black light, as deep as the vast starry sky, "But you want this?" β
Even the voice is low and rhythmic, very good!
Lu Li's heart moved fiercely.
There is often this kind of tacit understanding between him and Zhao Zhu, which is indescribable and unclear, as if Zhao Shu can always know when he wants something......
ββ¦β¦ Well. Lu Li's eyes drooped slightly, "Thank you." β
Zhao Shu stared at Lu Li's lips tightly, "No need." "What he wants, not verbal thanks.
The gaze cast on his face was as hot as fire, and Lu Li's ears were a little red, and he forced himself to look at the deceased's bloody neck, chest and abdomen, reminding himself what time it was, and his heartbeat slowed down.
"I'm going to dissect." He said.
Zhao Shu stepped forward, "I'll help you." β
Unfortunately, the results of this autopsy were of little help. First, the corpse is strict, and the things that can be seen are limited, and the second is that the internal organs of the deceased are consistent with the time of death, and there is nothing special.
The deceased showed no signs of poisoning, the internal organs were not damaged and bleeding profusely, and the only thing worth noting was that the deceased's stomach and small intestine were empty.
It indicates that more than eight hours had elapsed since the deceased's last meal before his death.
The author has something to say: thank you for the thunder!! ~\(β§β½β¦)/~
